The main role of roof shingles is to form a layer of protection around a building in order to protect the structure from extreme weather changes, thereby reducing maintenance costs and increasing the value of a property . When it comes to selecting a material to be used in these shingles, there are options to choose between asphalt singles, organic shingles and tile shingles. Amongst all of these, asphalt shingles offer the twin benefit of affordability and durability. However for structures that are constructed in geographical regions where there are sudden and extreme temperature changes, asphalt shingles do not prove ...

I think that a variety in the office will give the office more life and leave an impression on visitors. Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte is one of my favorite impressionist period paintings. Caillebotte painted this is 1877. The painting depicts a rainy day in urban Paris. In the forefront of the painting is a man holding an umbrella with a ...

Altering one’s body with cosmetic surgery is unnatural, and there are always risks of potential side effects, both physical and psychological associated with it.

Green buildings are a type of buildings whose design is optimized to reduce resource consumption during building, operation, and demolition. The main purpose of green buildings is to promote environmental conservation by reducing their carbon footprint. The design of green buildings is anchored on the principle of reduce recycle reuse. For example, the design is aimed at reducing water and electrical power consumption. Also, green buildings are equipped with provisions for recycling water and reusing it elsewhere. In addition, green buildings are sometimes constructed by reusing construction materials salvaged from demolished buildings (Colclough par.4). This paper examines the best ...

Who would have ever imagined, in their wildest dreams that a simple splatter of paint, a solid coat of one single colour painted on a canvas, or even an infant like sketch that would take 10 seconds to complete, would in the right hands sell for millions and millions of dollars? Is this even possible in today’s vast and sweeping art market? It most certainly is, and records for highest priced artworks sold over the last century continue to be broken to this very day. However it is our intention to explore specifically as to why such simple ...

There are several subglacial basins in East Antarctica but Lake Vostok is the most interesting for scientists, as its conditions are close to the ones on Europa – the Jupiter’s moon. So, the results of the exploration of Lake Vostok can shed light on one of the most important issues in astronomy – whether there could be living organisms somewhere besides Earth. The subglacial lakes are the subjects to low temperatures (nearly -3 degrees Celsius), high pressure (about 350 atmospheres) and constant darkness (montana.edu). When drilling, the scientists found out that the temperature of the air is -89 degrees Celsius ...

The 9/11 tragedy is one of the fiercest terrorist attacks on USA. We can call it a terrorist attack because it was planned and executed by the terrorists of Al Qaeda (CBC News, 2004). Most would not deny that 9/11 was a typical act of terrorism; some believe that it was a war in the name of religion. A group of Islamist terrorists hijacked air planes and crashed those into the twin towers of World Trade Centre and the building of Pentagon in US, killing more than 3000 people (Inside 9/11, 2005). Noam Chomsky, the renowned intellectual supports the definition of terrorism ...

With a Gin Vermouth in her hand, Harper sat down at the kitchen table. She took a sip, and licked the rim of the glass, eyeing the two Valium pills on the table. The lingering aftertaste of love-making was soon washed away, as she heard a voice behind her. “Not letting go deforms you, and the truth sets us free. Joe is gone, Harper. You should be gone, too.” She recognized the voice being her own, she recognized the thought being a product of her own mind. “I am crazy,” she thought and a tear came flickering down her face. “I am crazy, ...

“The Fish” talks about the interesting journey of the narrator who at first was just out to catch a fish, but ended up developing a deep understanding of nature and life through the fish. With the use of vivid imagery and abundant description, Elizabeth Bishop took the readers to the past struggles of the fish in order to stay alive, how its physical disfigurement reflecting those struggles translated into images of beauty and victory, and how these mental pictures elicited respect and admiration from the narrator.

True to its title, the narrator begins telling the story by talking about catching a fish.

I caught a tremendous fishand held him beside the boathalf out of water, with my hookfast ...

Oil is essential for the survival of an automobile since it lubricates the moving parts to avoid wear and tear. Oil also transfers heat from the combustion cycle, holds all by products, and sends them to the oil filter. When considering changing the lubricant of an automobile it is best to choose between crude and synthetic oil. The local auto parts house has many lubricant, some of which are synthetic oils. The production of synthetic oils takes place in the laboratory (Naikan and Kapur 187). This oil applies high-tech refining and has contaminants in the oil that can damage ...

An abstract image is something, frequently a question, that stands for a critical notion or arrangement of plans. Frequently an image is significant of the qualities of the characters. In Beowulf, a portion of the most vital images are Hrothgar's mead-corridor, Grendel's hole, Grendel's arm and head, and the mythical beast's fortune trove. Typically, Heorot speaks to the accomplishments of the Scyldings, particularly Hrothgar, and their level of progress. It is a position of light, warmth, and delight, diverged from Grendel's horrible marsh and in addition the dim and icy of winters in Scandinavia. In Heorot, Hrothgar praises his triumphs and prizes ...

I have decided to use a local coffee shop as the scene for my observations. This location has both pleasant and unpleasant attributes. The bright yellow walls are inviting. The subtle lighting of the restaurant made possible by the bright orange oriental lampshades. The wall hangings show the lush green coffee estates from where the pure coffee is sourced. The piped music from the establishment’s stereo player gives of a relaxing mood, making it a place where you would want to relax after a hard day’s work. The aroma of the different flavors of coffee wafts through the air from ...

Introduction

Plate tectonics is important because it explains the reasons for the deformation of Earth’s surface. Plate Tectonics theory assumes that the Earth’s surface was broken into several small plates and the plates have collided with each other to form the continents. The theory explains that the oceans and continents also move in addition to the tectonic plates. It also explains the global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. The plate tectonics explains the major features of the earth, such as the continents and oceans, the earthquakes and volcanoes and the mountains and valleys. The theory explained that the ...

Statement of the Problem

The problem of petroleum depletion has since posed problems to the global demand for energy, thus driving related costs to rise to unbearable proportions and economic crashes affecting all other sectors. Efforts to counter the foregoing have since resulted to the emergence of viable energy options using alternative resources to supplement what would otherwise require petroleum to operate. Natural gas obtained through hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, has become a much-sought alternative to petroleum currently supplied in known oil-rich areas such as the Middle East and Russia. In the United States (US), specifically in California (Siegel), fracking has recently ...

Culture is a set of traditions, habits, values, and norms that a group of people share. That is as basic as definition goes. What it implies though is that culture is intricate, deeply-rooted in a person or nation's psyche, and is quite definitive of a people group's identity. Unfortunately for the outsider, like an entire language to be learned, a group of people's culture takes tremendous amount of time to learn - a lifetime would not be an exaggeration. But for the person who marries as foreigner, or for a merchant wanting to expand overseas, a lifetime is a little too long for such an endeavor. How ...

Lander Project: Life on Jupiter’s Europa Moon

Water is life, and scientific research has long proven this fact. Water is the most important substance that living things need in order to survive. So far, scientists have been excited to find the possibility of life on some of the planetary moons. They have used the fact that evidence of the existence of life-supporting elements such as water and oxygen to other parts of the solar system has been presented through previous research to end up with this possibility. There could be alien life on Jupiter as shown by promising discoveries so far. The problem is that ...

Natural gas resources will continue to play a significant role in the sustainability and objective of having an independent, self sufficient energy mix for the United States in the coming years. With its objective of being able to increase its use of clean energy in the mix, American energy sector policy makers are looking to harness the extensive stores of natural gas that have become commercially viable resulting from the use of cutting edge technology in the fields of “horizontal drilling” and “hydraulic fracturing” that have allowed operators to extract greater amounts of oil and natural gas from shale formations ( ...

Part 1: Question 1

“What if”. Two words, six letters. Alone they mean nothing, combined and they form one of the heaviest phrases to start a sentence with. In this case however, starting the story with what if may have been better. Everyone who’s read the story of Macbeth knows exactly what happens; a good man is corrupted by the lust of power, armed with the knowledge of the future and urged by the whispers of his wife into rushing headlong into the unknown and ends up fulfilling all of his dreams, never realizing that nightmares are dreams too . The tragedy of Macbeth ...

Introduction

Geothermal energy is a source of energy that has become very common as a sustainable energy source in numerous countries across the world. Geothermal energy owes its origin to volcanic activity that occurs in the earth’s core and mantle. Rain water or water form surface runoff may collect in underground reservoirs of water. The volcanic activity below such reservoirs heats the water. The water is normally trapped such that it cannot escape. This leads to build up of a lot of pressure causing it to become superheated. Eventually, the water rises to the surface through fault lines on the rocks.

Dorothea Lange started her career in San Francisco as a freelance photographer and her notable project encompasses social landscape and the changes that occur within it. It was until the great depression in the United States in 1934 that she began to focus more on documenting peoples lives, poverty and other socio-economic related subjects (Bartomea and Petrosky 287). Paul S. Taylor on the other hand was a professor and economist at the University of California in Berkeley. His works are also associated to addressing the social problems created by the great depression (Bartomea and Petrosky 287). Lange and Taylor’s accomplishments ...

With the silent pauses of the monosyllables, Frost manages to say a remarkable lot through the compressed cadence of this unusually short poem. The smoothness of a lyric, the simplicity of a rhyme and a delicacy if highest order, the poem “nothing gold can stay” stands out because of the brevity in the message implied. Sired with several connotations and numerous contemplations Frost isn’t concerned with the direct passage of the meaning. It is a minefield of arguments, cryptic derivations and surface level meanings. Heavily end stopped and finalizing in its tone, it has a haunting and a captivating charm that is at once sonorous ...

Films, in and of themselves, ostensibly carry meaning (whether intentional or not) and thematic/narrative messages that are conveyed in various ways (King, 2001). The many elements that comprise the moving image and story of a film - performance, mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and more - are the tools used by filmmakers and actors to convey these messages. Whether explicit or implicit, the message and overall meaning of a film can be derived from a close examination of these elements. Two films that use these elements to a great extent to convey their meaning - Barton Fink and The Night of the Hunter - will ...

Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower, But only so an hour. So leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

The essence of poetry does not necessarily depend on the number of lines, complexity of phrases and sophistication of words chosen. If the phrases are inspirational or pleasant, only a few lines with simple words can suffice to create beautiful poetry. The famous poem ...

Earthquakes are one of the most damaging natural disasters that exist. Although scientists cannot predict exactly when an earthquake will occur, they can ascertain where one is likely to happen. Furthermore, engineers are working on designing buildings that will sustain the impact of earthquakes.

An earthquake is what occurs when two sections of the earth abruptly slip along each other. According to the Lisa Wald, “the surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane.” The position underneath the earth’s surface where the earthquake begins is called the hypocentre, and the position immediately over it on ...
